President Donald Trump expressed frustration behind closed doors with people coming to the US from "shithole countries," The Washington Post reported Thursday. "Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?" Trump said, according to the Post, which cited two people briefed on the Thursday Oval Office meeting with lawmakers. Trump, in vulgar terms, rejects bipartisan immigration proposal at White House meeting
When lawmakers in the meeting floated restoring Temporary Protected Status for some immigrants, Trump grew frustrated and shocked the lawmakers with his "shithole" comment in reference to African countries and Haiti, according to the Post. Trump then suggested the US should bring in more people from countries like Norway, the report said. A person briefed on the meeting told CNN that Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin was running through a proposal listing countries that would be covered by TPS protections in exchange for ending the visa lottery. The person said when Durbin got to Haiti, Trump began to ask why we want people from Haiti in the US and asked why we want more Africans. The President then said, according to this person, why do we want all these people from "shithole countries" coming here -- and added that the US should get more people from countries like Norway.

According to The Post. According to The Post... Is that the only verification? Personally, Im glad he said it if he did say it. Lib heads are exploding.
Maybe he meant to say “chipotle” countries ;?
Any honest Dem would say :”To fatten up our voter rolls, sir!”
Only if they contributed a goodly size donation to the Clinton Foundation....................
What the MSM does not realize is that they are actually helping re-elect Trump.
Even a lot of Dems agree with his statement, though they won’t say so in public..............
Exactly!...............
.....and illiterate............
I guarantee you that each and every ‘journalist’ from the MSM has actually said that about every third world country they have had to cover in their career..................
Bingo!
If they were tropical paradises they would still be there................
When was the last time any of these people vacationed in Haiti or Venezula?
When commercials come on begging for money for little kids starving in mud huts, covered in flies are the visuals meant to inspire comfort or horror?
If these places aren’t shitholes, then why the hell aren’t people flocking to them?
The truth is ugly,eh? Do people ‘escape’ paradises? It’s 2018 and yes- there are still backward,uncivilized shithole countries. Not our fault-theirs. If these lovely places are NOT bad why do their citizens not want to return? Don’t like being called a shithole country? FIX IT. Fix your attitudes and mentality then change the visual evidence that your countries ARE the shitholes from which you ran away!
If Castro’s Cuba is such a great place to live, why are the Haitians not flocking there, since it is a much shorter trip?..........Answer: Cuba sinks any Haitian refugee ships on sight.........................
Haiti and The Dominican Republic share the same island. They both speak French.
Haiti has the Western third and Dominican Republic has the Eastern two-thirds.
Look at a satellite pic of the island.
The East two thirds are a tropical paradise, full of plants and lovely.
The Western third has denuded hills and bare dirt, hardly any trees or vegetation at all.
The people of Dominican Republic are not fleeing their country in droves. They are a vacation spot that people love to travel to and spend their money.
They will keep trying..............
